Question 7396
When driving your passenger car and the trip to be made is short, is it permitted to carry a baby in your arms?
- Yes, if the speed at which you are driving is below 50 km/h.
- Yes, if the distance to be traveled is very short.
- No, an appropriate device must always be used for the baby.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, an appropriate device must always be used for the baby.
No. In your car, a baby must always be secured with the harness in an approved restraint system, like the one in the image, no matter how short the trip or how slowly you drive. An adult's arms do not protect the baby, because no one can hold on to them in a crash.
